Image	Title	Item Description
JSS0634	Page 1 of 2, printer's proof, Rothiemurchus Rant	Final proof copy of the second tune on page 21 of the Harp and Claymore collection. Once the printer has set the music and text, a 'final proof' copy is printed and returned to the author for corrections. The bars crossed out with blue crayon were deleted. They were replaced with a melody that is (basically) one tone higher, and with a different bass line.
JSS0635	Page 2 of 2, Rothiemurchus Rant	Manuscript in Gavin Greig's hand of insert to final proof copy of page 8 of the Harp and Claymore collection. Once the printer has set the music and text, a 'final proof' copy is printed and returned to the author for corrections. This music replaced that deleted in JSS0634.
JSS0636	Dumbarton Castle	Final proof copy of page 23 of the Harp and Claymore collection. Once the printer has set the music and text, a 'final proof' copy is printed and returned to the author for corrections. The corrections are marked in red ink. The printer omitted 'Heroic Marches' at the top of the page. Click on the audio link to hear Skinner playing this quick step (cd111b)
JSS0637	The Duke of Fife's Welcome to Deeside	Final proof copy of the second tune on page 31 of the Harp and Claymore collection. Once the printer has set the music and text, a 'final proof' copy is printed and returned to the author for corrections. The corrections are marked in red ink. Most are additions: one slur, one tie, two accents. There is also a '9' at the bottom right which needs to be deleted.
JSS0638	Balmoral Highlanders	This is a 'second' final proof copy of the second tune on page 39 of the Harp and Claymore collection. Once the printer has set the music and text, a 'final proof' copy is printed and returned to the author for corrections. The music still needs 'further attention'. The correction is marked in red ink.
JSS0639	Culloden Day or Inverness Gathering	Final proof copy of the second tune on page 43 of the Harp and Claymore collection. Once the printer has set the music and text, a 'final proof' copy is printed and returned to the author for corrections. The two small corrections are marked in red ink.
JSS0640	Gertie Gibb	Final proof copy of the second tune on page 74 of the Harp and Claymore collection. Once the printer has set the music and text, a 'final proof' copy is printed and returned to the author for corrections. Unusually, there are no corrections, which would have been marked in red ink.
JSS0641	Mrs Will	Final proof copy of the second tune on page 77 of the Harp and Claymore collection. Once the printer has set the music and text, a 'final proof' copy is printed and returned to the author for corrections. Unusually, there are no corrections, which would have been marked in red ink.
JSS0642	Johnnie (Bob) Steele	Final proof copy of the second tune on page 82 of the Harp and Claymore collection. Once the printer has set the music and text, a 'final proof' copy is printed and returned to the author for corrections. The corrections are marked in red ink. In Skinner's manuscript version of the piece (JSS0092), the composer was not known. Later, either Skinner or Greig found the tune in the 'Violin Repository', with the correct title - Johnnie Steele, and composer - J. Barnet. Click on the audio link to hear Skinner playing it.
JSS0643	Largo's Fairy Dance	Final proof copy of the second tune on page 88 of the Harp and Claymore collection. Once the printer has set the music and text, a 'final proof' copy is printed and returned to the author for corrections. Skinner and Greig would have been happy to see that this proof copy needed no corrections, which would hav been marked in red ink. You can listen to Skinner playing this by clicking on the audio link below (cd18e).
